Although the ex-Newcastle skipper saw the funny side of it, his
management firm SFX threatened legal action to have it removed.

The song "Elevation", was filmed as they drove down Ponteland high street, near his Darras Hall home. His daughyter posted it on the site Bebo, and the media picked up on it.

Apparently U2 singer, Bono, is not expected to lose his job over it. Although Shearer could be invited to sing it on stage the next time U2 play Newcastle.
 
This is not the first time Shearer's musical taste has come under scrutiny. In the hit film "Purely Belter" two kids pinched his car and were devestated to find CDs in his glove compartment included Phil Collins and Celine Dion.
 
Meanwhile (changing the subject), the man himself said on TV on Wednesday night that Zidane was "the greatest player I have ever played against".
